Coffee! Coffee! Coffee is my love. What’s yours? I can have coffee anytime and anywhere (Ah! That’s what my bio reads). For millions of people like me, the best way to start a day is by sipping a coffee and not TEA (no offense). Just like tea lovers sip a cup of tea every time they meet friends or work in the office, similarly, I take coffee breaks.
Whenever I crave a coffee, I make a hot Latte/cold coffee at home. But this time, I tried something new. I made black coffee. Brewing a coffee cup with no sugar, cream, or milk can’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Initially, I didn’t find it as delicious as mocha or other coffee flavors, but after learning about the benefits of black coffee, I started liking it. I read somewhere that indulging in black coffee improves memory, reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, and fights depression, stress, and whatnot.
It reduces stress, and that was the major reason why I tried my hands on black coffee (why not try this when stress busters like funny videos and music are not teaming up with you.) So, if you also want to try black coffee, check out this instant recipe that doesn’t need fancy coffee beans to make it tastier. Only water and regular coffee are good to go to make black coffee. So, what’s the secret? Wait! For that, you have to read the post.
Black Coffee Recipe: Ingredients for Your Ideal Cup
- 1 cup of water
- Instant coffee powder or Nestle coffee (best if you have it at home)
- Brown Sugar or refined sugar
3 Easy Steps to Make Black Coffee
- Pour water into a bowl and let it boil for 1-2 minutes or microwave for 40-45 seconds.
- Take the coffee powder and refined sugar in another bowl and add 3-4 drops of hot water to it. Give it a nice stir.
- Add the boiled water and mix well.
- Black coffee is ready to serve with cookies. |
That was super easy to make, and it also doesn’t take time. Now, it’s my turn to share the secret, i.e., a bonus tip!
BONUS TIP: Add a pinch of salt when you add the hot water into the mix to reduce the bitterness of coffee. With salt, coffee gives a different taste and comes out smoother.
